    I hatch! Crawl! And swim!

    Oh how I love my sweet life,

    Don't litter my home.

    —A Green Sea Turtle

  • Charlie...You need to teach these fish how to not eat plastic...PROBLEM SOLVED !!

  • BPA is bad, but all plastics are bad for you and the environment and contain toxic additives. For a entertaining music video explaining more about this, see The 7 Deadly Plastics on youtube.

  • This demonstrates how shortsighted humans are. I think it's our selfish nature that causes us to choose convenience over any kind of long term solution.

  • Something we use for seconds, for all intent and purposes, lasts forever. How true. I understand there are now plastic like materials made from biological products that can be designed to degrade within a set period of time.

  • Big Oil.

    Not content with filling our thin atmosphere with their climate changing Oil smoke , even more profit was to be had filling our oceans with their poisonous Oil based Plastics.

    Big Oil , who have knowingly pushed these products of Apocalypse to us all through their unrestrained greed have become the richest most profitable companies in all of Human history.

  • what do you mean TomSwervo1?

    is it not obvious problem with plastic polution?

    maybe not experienced directly now for you and me..

    science can find better solutions but maybe someone will stop it,

    I am not scientist to bring solution for this problem, but I can stop using plast as much as possible

  • i reuse plastic bags (even wash & dry'em) & carry items in hand. i keep a plastic bag in my back pocket which gets used till it breaks. then it's still ok 2 pic up doggy dodo. the stickler 4 me is the plastic water bottles. the water is gross out of the tap even filtered. standardized industrial packaging would help reduce waste by means of every products containers being interchangeable by all industries regardless of location.

    DON'T LITTER!! IT'S DANGEROUS TO MARINE LIFE.

  • I can't stand how the "Illuminati" types here are willing to spend the rest of their lives surfing this site scaring the shit out of people(like myself) with all the quite real dangers we have to deal with in today's world...yet when you ask them for solutions, they almost always look you in the eye, yawn in your face, and go on to the next YouTube video. I think the imminent end of mankind is a possibility, and EVEN I'M NOT THAT PESSIMISTIC.

    Who're the REAL sinners here?

  • Just stop using plastic items whenever you can: take your own bag at the supermarket, choose glasbottles when you have the choice ... just little steps, but its the only chance we have. 2. DO NOT LITTER! All the tiny things you may drop at the street will end in the ocean one time. Respect mother earth. Be aware!
